Final hours to enter in McKnight's Tech Awards!

The final call is here: All entries for the 2015 McKnight's Excellence in Technology Awards must be in by 11:59 p.m. tonight.

The awards are free to enter and open to operators of virtually all kinds of long-term care communities and facilities. Winners will be honored with national recognition and as part of a spread in McKnight's Long-Term Care News later this year.

A Florida nursing home fired one of its nursing assistants earlier this month after she used social media to call for help for the facility in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, according to local reports.

Voicemails from the Hollywood, FL, skilled nursing facility where several residents died following Hurricane Irma were deleted by Gov. Rick Scott (R), potentially complicating the ongoing investigation into the incident.
